Kilimanjaro through the lens of Ambarish

Author: Debu Chaudhuri | Posted on: 28th, Dec, 2022

Ambarish has a keen interest in history, travel, and photography. I learned his father Prabir Kumar Goswami (“SriParabat”) was a renowned Bengali Novelist. Ambarish has articulated his life’s work from childhood, his deep interest in so many areas amazed me. Please visit his web site for his photo library. It is noted at the end of this article.
